Biography

Blood Obsession (2001-2013): a Death Metal band from Stottville, New York, USA.

O

n May 18th 2001, former members of a widely known local band, Internal Crisis, recruited Carlo DAmato to play bass for their sound. Todd Bozek (drums) and Chuck Stafford (rhythm guitar) had finally acquired the tools necessary to put Infanticide (the bands first name) on top. Combining their influences, like Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Carcass, Nile and Black Sabbath, they were able to produce a sound unique to them.

Shortly after Carlo D'Amato (bass) joined the band, the search for a vocalist had ended when Erik Rodriquez was introduced to the scene.They then recorded their first three-song demo at Center Stage Productions wi th the aid of sound engineer Tim Lynch. Copies were distributed at live shows and received positive response. Utilizing the power of the internet as yet another tool for mass promotion, they started a band web page allowing people to download their music and give them feedback. During this time, numerous shows were played at Navigators, Northern Lights, Mother's, and Saratoga Winners.

At a show at Mothers, Matt Geuther (lead guitar) saw Infanticide perform and was impressed by their talent. Within a month, Geuther was a member of the team displaying his ability as a lead guitarist; a position that would complete the band line-up. After Geuther's induction, the band saw some rocky times but survived. Once the smoke cleared, they walked out a different group with more dedication, new material, and a new name: Blood Obsession.
